Georgia O’Keeffe is known for her intimate and magnified paintings of nature, including flowers and New Mexico landscapes. She is celebrated not just for her outstanding position in American art, but also as a woman who established herself as one of the all-time greatest painters of the 20th Century.
O’Keeffe’s career spanned over half a century. Drawing upon her love and energy towards nature, much like Dove, O’Keeffe found a symbiotic translation to place into which her paintings, in abstract shapes and soft transitions of colour, rest.
Through her marriage to the well-known photographer and dealer, Alfred Stieglitz, who described her work as “the purest, finest sincerest things that have entered 291 [gallery] in a long while”, Georgia O’Keeffe flourished, moved to New York and was offered a one-woman show.
Georgia O’Keeffe’s repertoire is considered important, often rare, historical pieces. Her works feel just as relevant now, with the softness of her bond with nature in the 21st Century, than when they were created.
